4TH OF JULY

If you don’t cry now
I’ll get you later
Call you out
You always surrender
Start your day
I’ll tap you on the shoulder
Can’t pull away
It’s far from over
Meet me outside
On the top of the hill
On the Fourth of July
I’ll meet you up there
As the fireworks start
Eyes and ears to the sky
Nobody will hear you cry
That’s my hand
Holding you under
Pushing you into
The unfamiliar
Don’t know how to feel
Won’t know what to say
Today you’re a winner
But you can’t run away
Meet me outside
On the top of the hill
On the Fourth of July
I’ll meet you up there
As the fireworks start
Eyes and ears to the sky
Nobody will hear you cry
IF IT TURNS OUT
THERE’S A RAIN DELAY
I WILL FIND YOU OUT THERE ANYWAY
Meet me outside
On the top of the hill
On the Fourth of July
I’ll meet you up there
As the fireworks start
Eyes and ears to the sky
Nobody will hear you cry
